Cards' Jacquemain decides on Akron
Tuesday, October 26, 2004
Mentor quarterback Chris Jacquemain has made a verbal commitment to accept a full football scholarship from the University of Akron, he said on Monday night.
"I saw the campus and the other facilities and was really impressed," said Jacquemain, who attended Akron's 35-23 victory over Ball State at the Rubber Bowl on Saturday night. "They're headed in the right direction with the program. Their coaches really care about the players."
The 6-2, 200-pound Jacquemain said he considered offers from some of Akron's Mid-American Conference rivals. Jacquemain has completed 120 of 226 passes for 1,572 yards and nine touchdowns, and rushed for 593 yards and 10 touchdowns in 136 carries for the 6-3 Cardinals.
